Norlanian Brides #2
Warrick's Bride
Warrick Riya, captain in the Norlanian army, is betting everything that medical officer Sloan wants him as much as he wants her. He arranges for her abduction according to the traditions of their people, and takes her into the mountains to convince her that nothing would make him happier than spending the rest of his life as her husband.
Sloan Atarn has known for years that, like most Norlanian females, she’ll never be able to have children. She’s accepted that because of her faulty genetics, she’ll also never get married. When she wakes up in the mountains with the sexy Warrick telling her that he’s risking everything to make her his forever, she knows the right thing to do is to leave and let him live his life without her. If she can only bring herself to walk away from the only man she’s ever truly loved.

Warrick's Bride
Norlanian Brides Book
by R. E. Butler
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I received this book to read and to give my honest opinion in a review.
It's a Spectacular Read!! I have actually read all of R.E. Butler books and they always put a smile on my face. Her books are always entertaining no matter what she writes, I have never read one of her books that I didn't fine it to be loveable, enjoyable and creative. If you enjoy reading love stories she writes the best. This storyline was so sweet and lovable I really hated for the story to end. But if you enjoy reading alien romance then this series will be one of your favorite as it is mine. I have read the first two book in this series and I really enjoyed reading them. This one is another Spectacular addition I couldn’t putting it down. I am already in love with all of the characters in this series. Her characters are developed and well written. I love that the books have beautiful plus size women and where they find their attitude, confidence and strength. The dialogue is creative, you will like the interaction between the main characters, they leap off the page with life. The scenes are picturesque, vivid, beautiful and dynamic. would be a great. Please read the books in order so that you can enjoy the full effects. Each book can be read as a standalone but they will be more enjoyable if they are read in order and it's easier to understand!
On the Alien planet of Nolan their custom is that for the male to mate they must pay to take the soul walk. The custom is the male pays the computer to match him with his soul mate from the brides that are abducted from Earth. This custom takes place because most of the Norlanian female are sterile or can only have a male child. Warrick Riya is a captain in the Alien Norlanian army, who is ready to be mated. But he won't take the soul walk because he hated how his father removed his mother from her home to take the soul walk. So he is determined to have his soulmate, a medical officer Sloan Atarn. He wants her so much he arranges for her abduction the traditional way of their people.
Sloan Atarn is a Medical Officer ( Doctor) and she can't have children like most of the Norlanian females. She was once engaged but he put her aside because of her faulty genetics. But when Warrick a army captain someone she has known for years, abducts her to convince her to mate with him, she is unsure. She loves him and she wants to say yes but she hates to see him ruin.
There are some twists and turns in this storyline. You don't want to miss this book! This is a great book to add to your TBR list. I'm so excited about reading the next book this series. I highly recommend this book.
If you believe in the world of romance, the possibilities are endless and fascinating!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I LOVE THIS AUTHOR!!
Warrick’s Bride is a captivating story about love, sacrifice, and acceptance. The relationship between Warrick, a determined and passionate military captain, and Sloan, a woman who believes she’s unworthy of love due to her inability to have children, is filled with emotional depth. Warrick’s devotion to Sloan and his willingness to risk everything for her shows a strong, protective side that adds a lot of charm to his character. Sloan’s internal struggle with her self-worth and her inability to walk away from him despite believing she can’t be a proper wife is both relatable and heart-wrenching. The setting is richly described, and the emotional conflict is powerful, making this book a heartfelt and satisfying read.

Oh how I love Warrick! He’s done waiting for a chance with Sloan and pursues her with complete commitment. Sloan has lived in a world that says she has no value other than her job. Her reaction to Warrick is understandable, but when she allows herself to believe he was sincere it made me smile. The story line has some surprises and I’m looking forward to seeing where the rest of the series leads.

Ok. I just love Sloan. She is very giving and sweet. She protected her brother the best she could. She protects her friends. Warrick has loved her for years. He finally makes his move. He knows he will have to convince Sloan it will be ok. I truly love the ending. I hope Red finds the same happiness.

Warrick enacts a long forgotten practice of the Norlanian race. He kidnaps a Norlanian female and takes her to a wooing chamber to convince her they are mates. His chosen mate, Sloan is sterile female, and doctor. The two have known each other their whole lives and have admired each other from afar. At one point, Sloan was engaged to another male named, Nalek. But when it was revealed that Sloan was barren, Nalek broke the engagement. Sloan is defensive and upset and tries to convince Warrick that they can't mate because the consequences are too steep and she doesn't want Warrick to resent her down the line. Warrick finally convinces Sloan that he really does love her, and she soon gives into her love for him. Their bubble of love is popped, when four strange men break into the wooing chamber and take Sloan. They are then introduced to a new civilization of the ligaru, people that have rejected the soul-walk, and serums, and technology, and have embraces choosing their true soul-mates. Sloan and Warrick learn how their government had manipulated the Norlanian people about soul-mates, blue hair in males, and female infertility. Sloan and Warrick are asked to stay and start a new life with the ligaru, and to add their skills to the community. This book went in a different direction than the first, but expanded on some issues brought up with Paoli and Kate. I really enjoyed it.

By abducting Sloan in the way of their people, Captain Warrick Riya is betting everything that medical officer Sloan wants him as much as he wants her in this captivating paranormal romance.
Because Sloan Atarn can’t have children, she knows the best thing for Warrick is for her leave and the reader can’t help but be captivated as Warrick and Sloan reach for their happily ever after and stand against what their culture has deemed right. The romance is sweet and inspiring with steamy passion but just as they have it in their grasp an unexpected twists snatches it away while revealing some surprising truths that will turn the couple’s world upside down adding adrenaline pumping excitement. The plot is fast paced, well written and flows smoothly with suspense, romance and strong compelling characters.
I was a bit stunned by the twists that this story revealed, I mean, yes I had a suspicion about some of it, but not the rest of it, I might as well have been turned upside down along with Warrick and Sloan and I sure didn’t see those intriguing sounding birds coming and with that I have to wonder just what the series has in store for Dex.
4 ½ STARS

I'm really loving this series from RE Butler.
Warrick is a military officer who has liked Sloan for a long time but was too afraid to approach her. Sloan ended up engaged to someone else...until it was determined she couldn't have children. Her fiancé couldn't get rid of her fast enough so he could move on to a fertile mate.
Sloan is devastated. She figures she'll be alone forever. Until Warrick decides this is his chance to convince Sloan to be his....by kidnapping her and taking her to a secluded place to try wooing her. He only has a few days to convince her....will he succeed? Will Sloan be able to get past the hurt of being "unworthy"? And what's the deal with the giant birds? Read this book and find out. You won't be disappointed.

Warrick is a military officer who has liked Sloan for a long time but was too afraid to approach her. Sloan ended up engaged to someone else...until she finds out she can't have children. Her fiancé couldn't get rid of her fast enough. Warrick watched the pain in his mothers eyes when she was replaced with a fertile female for something that was not even her fault and to see the only woman he knows face the same pain. Sloan figures she'll be alone forever. Until Warrick decides this is his chance to make Sloan his....by kidnapping her and trying to get her to fall in love with him. He only has a few days will it work? Will Sloan be able to get past the hurt of being unworthy? I love this series can't wait for next one

I was given an ARC by the author in exchange for an honest review.
Warrick is an officer that has been in love with Sloan for ages but she has never given him any sign that she is intrested.
Sloan is pinning after Warrick but due to the sterility in all females in her planet doesn't want to ruin his life and future.
Warrick decides to abduct sloan in the way of his people and persuade her that she is it for him.
Can they make it?
A short story that i loved and with a twist we didn't expect.
I love the way this story goes but i needed i bit more.
I wanted to know more over the twist that happened in the story and the new developments.
Still a great addition to the series!!!!!!

I received an ARC of this book and I have to say that this book really expanded on the world that R.E has created. Secrets have been revealed about the soul-walks and blue hair situation and I cannot wait to see the other characters we have been introduced to figure these things out for themselves ( or at least I hope they do).
The next book in the series can not come quick enough.
Keep them coming R.E Butler.

He's Determined To Have Her
This is a fun quick read. She has always had a crush on him but he's never been interested. He has always been interested but too shy to tell her. They have figured out that their government has been screwing around with the females pregnancy for generations. Get a comfortable seat and your favorite snack and read a interesting and entertaining story. Enjoy I did.

Excellent 2nd instalment of the Norlanian Bride series. Really enjoying the twist in the plot. If you enjoy reading sci-fi paranormal romance then you will love this series. I can't wait to read the next one.

Love the series. Never figured alien planets and people to be to my liking, but the series is very good. Warrick has loved Sloan for so long, yet the fertility problems of their people has kept them apart. Fast read, government conspiracy,and true love. A must read

This is turning out to be a great series. I would've never guess all the conspiracy going on. I can't wait to see what going to happen next in this series.
